(a) FT-IR spectra of −80ST48, alcohol-immersed, and control scaffold in the range of 400–4000 cm⁻¹, with their characteristic peaks of amide I, amide II, and amide III. (b) The deconvolution analysis of amide I’s FT-IR spectra of −80ST48 scaffold, compared to the alcohol-immersed scaffold and the control. The black dots were the real measured FT-IR peaks. The red lines represented the component peaks calculated by the deconvolution method, and the lines with black dots were the sum of the calculated component peaks while the blue line indicated the position of each component peak.
